first post: veggies vs pills

I was about to send out an email to a few people linking to an article, and thought, "hey, this is what a blog is for, and that way I won't have to bug anybody!"

There is an article in the LA times today about how eating more vegetables can lower your cholesterol. That in itself isn't blog-worthy, but what I find interesting is in the article it is stated that:

"Researchers said people who cannot tolerate the statin drugs because of side effects could turn to the diet, which they said their volunteers could easily follow."

It seems that eating lots of vegetables is a last resort, only to be attempted in extreme cases :)
